Braun Calls Out Milwaukee's Pitching Staff

Jul 6, 2009 8:02 AM

Ryan Braun was frustrated after an 8-2 loss to the Cubs on Sunday, and he called out Milwaukee's pitching staff.
"Their starting pitching is a lot better than ours," Braun said. "They threw the ball a lot better than our starters did. They certainly swung the bats better than we did. Clearly they were the better team. It's nice to get the one win but they clearly outplayed us and outperformed us all series."
It was made clear that Braun is hoping the team will add some pitching after they lost three of four to the Cubs.
"I wish I got to make decisions like that. But I know he's trying to make our ballclub better," Braun said of general manager Doug Melvin. "I know he understands the significance of making a move and making it soon."
